Here is the follow up album to his first tight ass album. Jake now has an alright distribution deal that went to hell after this album. His intro on this is just like most of his albums, it says "Jake the mutha flake" and I always love his intros. "Drug Dealer" is track 2 and Jake shines on this song, its has great lyrics and the beat is off tha chain. Shoestring is on the next track with Jake and its off the hook, "Goin Way Out"---the beat is really nice and the flows are great. "Lawless" is up next and its another crunk cut, Jake drops some laid back flows to this banging beat---its a vintage Jake song.

Track 6 is called "Time To Go Legit" and this shit has to be an older track, its has alright lyrics but the beat is terrible. "Dayton Dont Play" sounds like an older track also but its crunk as fuck, I am really feelin this shit--its off the hook. After this is "The Way Life Goes" and this shit sounds older also---he almost sounds like Rappin 4 Tay on this shit, its aint nothing special though. "Out 2 Get Rich" is a really nice song, the beat is very cold and Jake drops some amazing lyrics on this track. "Refuse 2 Loose" is just a lil DJ mix with no rapping and shit, its basically just taking up some space. "F.A.N.G." was also on his rereleased on Flint Thug Compilation and its on this album also---its a pretty nice cut but I have heard alot better from him.

"Streets Is All I Know (Remix)" is the last cut on this 12 track album, this song is terrible, the first version was off the hook but this beat on this one just fucks up the entire song, its a prime example of what a good beat will do to a song. Overall this album is pretty tight, I would get his other albums before this one though. This one has a few songs that aint that tight but it features some really nice songs. If you are a Jake fan make sure you pick this shit up and if you aint pick up his other albums first then get this one.
